Resort photography that sells the experience

Mariya Harley is a luxury resort photographer who captures the full experience of a destination property — pools, suites, beach, grounds, spa and dining — as editorial photography and cinematic Reels. Resorts live and die on aspiration, and the work is shot to make a guest feel the place before they book.

With a 105K travel audience concentrated in the Gulf and Mediterranean, a residency also puts a resort in front of high-spending travellers from exactly the markets that fly to it. Past resort work includes Raffles Dubai, Marina Bay Sands in Singapore, Ethno Belek in Turkey and Rixos Premium Dubrovnik in Croatia.

Proof

What a two-night residency returns

A single two-night stay at Rixos Premium Dubrovnik produced 170K reach, 3,300 likes and 300 saves — alongside 20–30 retouched editorial photographs and 2–3 cinematic Reels the property keeps with full commercial usage rights. That is the model: professional assets your marketing team uses everywhere, plus distribution to an audience that is already planning luxury travel.

Frequently Asked

Resort photography — common questions

Do you travel internationally for resort shoots?

Yes — Mariya travels worldwide from her London base. Past resort projects include the UAE (Raffles Dubai), Singapore (Marina Bay Sands), Turkey (Ethno Belek), Croatia (Rixos Premium Dubrovnik, Lone Hotel Rovinj) and Qatar (Raffles Doha). Travel is negotiated separately from creative fees.

What is included in a hotel content package?

A standard package includes 20–30 retouched editorial photographs (suite, F&B, common areas, architectural details), 2–3 cinematic Reels of 15–30 seconds, Instagram Stories coverage with location tags and a booking link, plus full commercial usage rights for the hotel’s website, OTAs and brochures.

How much does hotel content creation cost?

A full-day editorial hotel shoot in London typically runs £1,500–£3,500 depending on deliverables, usage rights and crew. Gifted collaborations — a two-night stay minimum — are available for boutique and luxury properties in exchange for editorial content, social distribution and full commercial usage rights.

Why does a Gulf audience matter for a hotel?

Gulf travellers are among the highest-spending luxury guests in Europe and the Middle East. Mariya Harley’s 105K-follower audience on @mariyaharleylife is concentrated in Saudi Arabia (~43%), the UAE (~12%) and Qatar (~9%), so a collaboration puts a property directly in front of that exact market — something few UK-based photographers can offer.

Have a resort to showcase?

Editorial photography and Reels that make travellers want to book — and reach the Gulf market.
